If you're writing on SATA SSD, yes.

If you're writing on NVMe, well, there is a good chance that if you're not at the high end (big site, a lot of things to do), you can just ignore that as the IOPS will be "good enough"

Like, single relatively shitty NVMe can still sustain ~700MB/s of random(4k block) writes. Use good ones, and use more than one and you quickly hit CPU barrier before you hit NVMe performance.

You still want to keep it kinda grouped together but that's mostly for the wear levelling reasons
